Hi, I'm Katie

Thank you for being curious and visiting Shakti School.

If you want to live a life filled with love, health and expanding abundance, then this is YOUR space.

I've channeled my over 20 years of study and experience with Tantra, Ayurveda, yoga, depth and somatic psychology, anatomy/biology science and the wellness industry to create a program especially for woman, especially NOW.

I believe you were born a perfect being filled with love and curiosity. I believe there is a natural force within us that knows how to take care of us.

I want you to learn the ancient methods and emerging scientific wisdom for super-charging your own deep physical and spiritual thriving.

I'm here to be a translator of the ancient and a force of evolving our methods in wellness. I want to help you deeply connect with the feminine, intuitive methods of medicine and self-care that lives within you. No gurus other than the one that lives through your whole body.

Whether you want to deepen your practice as a yoga teacher or healing arts professional, or just deeply connect with the wisdom of your own body, this program is for you.

If you came here knowing there is more to life, and you're just waiting to be ignited, you've come to the right place.

With love,

Katie Silcox>

​“Women have always been healers. Cultural myths from around the world describe a time when only women knew the secrets of life and death, and therefore they alone could practice the magical art of healing.”

Jeanne Achterberg, Woman as Healer

What Our Student's Are Saying

Things will change when you do this training, your thoughts will change, your heart will change, your body will change. It is not only a chance to be able to learn and share these teachings with other people but an absolute depth in discovery of the self. When I first started this training I felt like I was in a really good place in my life and now feel more humble, powerful, juicy, loving and resilient than I thought I ever would. Through this process, I have learned these teachings are more valuable than any penny and will extend from my body and my mind to generations underneath me. I could not recommend this more to every woman and every man to understand and break down the walls of what we believe our health to be.

I have been studying Ayurveda for years, but feel like I finally found the program that was made for me within Shakti School. Katie's approach to Ayurvedic medicine (and healing in general) feels radical and revolutionary, yet simultaneously known and familiar, like coming home to an old and powerful friend. This program covers the basic foundations of Ayurveda in a clear and concise way that is accessible and fun. But it is also so much bigger than Ayurveda. It taps into the essence of healing itself, and our connection to the universal laws of nature that exist outside of any one path or tradition. This course goes way beyond any other that I have come across by asking us to dive deep into our own experience, our own bodies, our own wisdom, and our own power.

It’s profound experiencing the workings of the true feminine form medicine. It shifts your perspective of health and wellness. You begin to understand your life experience within generational time. This program allows the richness of Ayurveda to flower open in a unique, relevant and timely way. The world needs this NOW! Katie has assembled a team of revolutionary leaders at the cross-roads of spirit, yoga and health. This is more than a certification program. This is a community and a movement.

-Amaury Roseline, Shakti School COO

The Shakti School has helped me to transform my life from the inside out! Shakti School is not just a place for learning- it’s a place to become your highest self. I not only received invaluable tools and wisdom to share with my community, but empowering teachings and an incredible sisterhood of support that I needed to step out of fear and into wholeness. Now I have a newfound sense of freedom, an understanding my true purpose, and the tools I need to accomplish it!

-Eden Garcia Thaler, Richmond, VA

Where to begin…..this year has-been a year of self-discovery, surrendering, and self-renewal. Shakti School opened a window to my Spirit, mind, and body. A way to reprocess old patterns of living, thinking, praying, feeling, and eating. A school of innovative teachers, who give 100% of themselves during their time with-you. Shakti’s Ayurveda, feminine form medicine, program, can be comparable to three-years of education at a university. After three months of the first training, I already knew that I would sign up for year two. So, if you are looking for “TRUTH, HONEST, SELF-ACTUALIZATION or a TRIBE”, you have found the school. If you are looking to broaden, your healing modalities or to offer more to your clients then this is the school for you. Get ready for both a personal and professional LIFE-CHANGER.

-Stacey Nichols, Teacher, Clear Lake, Iowa

Ayurveda came to me on sacred ground and I knew I had to dive in to Shakti School. It’s been so much more than I could have expected. I wanted to learn about the ancient practices, but have been fulfilled feeling part of a global community of women, connected by Dharma and lineage. Taking these classes on my own time has been invaluable. Studying with teachers across the world can only happen here. Ayurveda school will forever be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

-Jen Tucker, Artist & Entrepreneur, Seattle, WA

My goal this past year was to bring in more feminine flow into my life. After going through Ayurveda school I cannot believe how much more in-touch I am with my feminine side. I've brought so much of what I've been learning to my clients to help them awaken the shakti within them. Body yantra, pelvic play, and surrendering have been my focus this past year. I feel confident to be myself once more.

-Andrea Claassen, Personal Trainer & Ayurvedic Coach, Saint Paul, MN

I have always had a passion for health and wellness so when my sister showed me that Katie Silcox had an Ayurveda school it felt like it had been written just for me. I am now 10 months into studying and it was the best decision ever. Being a mum of three life can be very busy and stressful. I have learnt how to love and care for myself and be more inbalance so that I am less stressed and calm and our life has definitely benefited. The whole household has now taken on Ayurveda and we eat better, sleep better and spend more time doing what we love. Katie is an incredibly inspiring teacher and her lectures are fun, current and informative. She has created an amazing line-up of teachers each month to add their skills and knowledge to the school too. Joining Ayurveda school was the best decision for me and I can't wait to see what year two has in store for us. Emily xxx

-Emily Lindley, Full time mum, Menston, Ilkley, UK

I cannot write enough words about how wonderful my experience at the Shakti Ayurveda School has been thus far. I've been personally studying and practicing Ayurveda for the last 9 years, and I continue to be amazed by how much wisdom is translated and shared by the teachers at each class. At first I was a bit skeptical about how I would enjoy an online program, but I can honestly say I can still feel the connection to the teachers and my fellow students during our "live" classes. And I love the fact that I can work at my own pace and watch or re-watch lectures at a later date if necessary. We also have a Facebook group which has been a fantastic way to stay connected with each other, share our journeys as well as our questions and personal insights. This is not like any "school" I've ever been a part of. It's just as much a journey of personal transformation as it is a forum to learn how to understand and share these ancient healing tools.

It takes place 100% online and is easy to integrate into your life. Classes are held via live-streaming and they're recorded. Every lecture will be available to watch and re-watch from our intuitive online classroom.

An optional in-person Graduation Retreat is planned for Oct/Nov 2019 at Shakti School headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia.​This certification program is based on the principle that it is possible to up-level your income while sharing your deepest heart’s passion. You will learn all the basics of Ayurveda, as well as the business principles needed to be an effective transmitter of Ayurveda.

How can you teach others to thrive if you yourself are struggling physically, emotionally or financially?

This course will not only offer the time-tested support systems for your physical and mental body, but also your financial body.

If you want to live a life of less stress, more simplicity, and potentially experience the true fulfillment of helping others do the same, this program is for you.

We will be limiting the number of students in this course, so sign up early!
